Grasshoppers in sacramento
County.

1t seems likely that there will be. 9
grssshopper attack OF greater or less ex'
tent this year, as it is reported from Gall
that the young locusts (Metanoptus de.
vastator) are appearing in considerable
numberg. The region about Gait suf-
fered considerably two yeers ago, and the
evil extended also to other parts of the
valley. Our readers will remember the
ways of killing them which were fully
described in the Rural at the time.
Should the visitation provo serious, we
will reproduce the information. Prof.
Riley, in an interview, briefly enumer-
ated these remedies as follows:
At this season, while they are yet un-
fiedged, they may be killed in large
quantities in viious ways-crushed by
rollers on smooth ground, burned in
windrows of straw, or trapped In
bitches. A dry ditch, properly made,
will intercept their movements and kill
vast numbers, especially il deeper pits
be made at intervals in the bottom OF the
ditch A scum of coal oil made to float
on an irrigating ditch will destroy
all that are driven into it. Oae OF the
best remedies, especially when they
begin to get their wings in June, Is to
kill them with poisoned bait, made OF
one part of arsenic to six parts of bran,
moistened with sweetened water, or
syrup diluted in water. The cheapest
wholesale way Of clearing large grain
fields is to draw shallow sheet.iron pans
over the field, the bottoms Of the pans
to be covered with coal tar or coil Gil.
Fortunately for California, locust visi-
tations are not general. as they are on
the great plains. There is, however,
much harm done in infested localities,
and remedial agencies are important.
We shall be glad to hear from our read
ers if they fad the insects encroachipg
upon them. Rural Press.

A Review of the Days Transac-
tiOns.

New YORK, May 3.-The stock market to
day, except for three or four stocks, was
fully as duh and featureless as yesterday.
although operations in few active stocks
gave more character to the trading. The
opening was generally firm, most stocks
showing advar ces of 1s to "A per cent. The
market soon weakened, however, and frac
tional declines were established In the gen
eral list, while New England was specially
weak for the first few minutes general
rally occurred, however, before noon, al
though Western Union continues weak
through most OF the time. Fluctuations in
the general list were confined within the
range oi 2 per cent, and after o'clock the
market became extremely dull. Fort Worth
and Denver was strong ana the general list
ment was entirely lost, heavy tone pre-
vailing until near the close, which was dull
| but steady.

Many of these animals, however,
though designated as sheep, grow hair
instead Of wool. The fine heeces of the
modern domestic sheep which have
taken the place of the hair of the primi-
tive ovine are largely the result Of care
full breeding and culture. This is
very suggestive fact for economic writer's
who are inclined to write about wool as
though it grew without any care or at
tention.

Serious Accident.

Yesterday morning, while ]. H. Nit
tell, cigar maker for Albert Lenze, was
coming from Junction City to Abilene,
he met with an accident which cost him
a broken limb. He was riding on top
of one of the coaches on the early
morning train, and, being tired Of a re-
cumbent position, attempted to rise
to his feet just as the train was
passing curve about six or seven
miles this side of Junction. The train
was going at a rapid rate, and the
swing of the cars at they made the
curve threw him off his balance. Mr..
Mittell saw that he must either fall or
Jump. To save himself he accepted
the jump in preference to the fall.
When he attempted to rise, after light
ing, he found his leg was broken and
tibet he was unable to walk. Taking
off his shirt, he tore it in pieces and
bound the injured member as well as
he could, thus somewhat easing the
pain. In this condition, suffering
greatly, until help came to him in the
shape of the O'Clock freight, which he
succeeded in stopping, and which
brought him to Abilene. DR.. King
was summoned, and upon examination
found both bones in his left ankle
broken and the ankle dislOcated. Mr..
NJ. is now at the Burris House, and is
getting along as well as could be ex-
Dected

Jo," ever brought more teams to our
city. Every merchant and clerk was
busy from nine o'clock in the morning
until ten O'Clock III the evening. At
the stock yards farmers were busy uR-
loading fat porkers and leaving various
banks with fat pocket books. Our pro-
duce dealers were busy all day counting
eggs and weighing butter. The weather
was perfect. On the various street
corners the Republicans were naturally
talking about how the county elections
went, and the Democrats insisted on
talking about the returns from York
State" And there was one subject
of great interest that they all agreed
upon, Democrats, Republicans and
Greenbackers alike, and that was that
wheat never looked better, and the
prospects for an enormous crop next
summer was most fiatterlng. A
stranger in our city Saturday could get
a good idea of the bright, intelligent
and thrifty people who surround our
city. And from the great numbers upon
every street, and the various business
houses thronged with customers, the
Importance of Abilene as trade-center
was surely and substantially proven.
And it also showed that Dickinson
county outside of the towns, has grown
in population at an equal rapid pace
with the various cities within her Dor
ders, and Abilene and Dickinson
county as yet have only just thoroughly
started. A brighter, more prosperous
era will soon be realized than we
even hoped for. Why not? There is
no waste land in our county, the soil
is rich and inexhaustible in fertility.
There is room for so, 900 farm In habit
ants in the county; that alone would
make the metropolis and county seat a
large city. But our business men and
citizens in general, with factories, shops
and unsurpassed railroad facilities and
other industries, will and propose to
see that Abilene is the best and largest
town in Central Kansas. The above is
simply honest facts, and not hot-winded
blowhardiSm.

Case of Insanity.

William E. Cundiff, a young man
about % years old, whose father lives
in Buckeye township, was brought in
town today to have a hearing before

He was armed with two large revol-

Kirkwood had a lively tussle with the
young man to obtain possession of.
Sheriff Miller summoned the follow
ing Jurors: DR.. Bovard, L. II. Faulk-

II. Gardner and William Murphy. At
the time of going to press the case is

left for Denver, claiming he was going
toIight duel with young man who
he imagines killed his grandfather. He
returned from Denver last Saturday,
claiming the fellow had left for China.
